SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Broken GitHub Actions pipelines block pull requests and waste developer time, while debugging remote CI logs and reproducing failures locally is often slow and error-prone without structured guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Failing Step Debugging: View detailed logs for failed CI run steps directly via the GitHub CLI or Actions tab to pinpoint root causes quickly.
  • Local Reproduction: Use the act CLI to replicate CI jobs locally, test fixes, and validate changes without pushing code repeatedly.
  • Pre-Flight Validation: Run checks that match CI unit, integration, and packaging jobs before pushing to catch issues early and avoid broken runs.
  • Common Failure Fixes: Access curated solutions for frequent CI errors like Node version mismatches, missing dependencies, and misconfigured secrets.
  • Use Case: If your PR fails the CI unit test job with a Node version error, use this skill to identify the mismatch, reproduce the job locally, and align versions across all workflow files.

Quick Start

Use the github-actions-ci skill to debug the failing GitHub Actions run for my current pull request and reproduce the failure locally with act.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reproduce a failing GitHub Actions workflow locally before pushing code?▼

Reproduce failing GitHub Actions workflows locally by running the act CLI to replicate CI jobs, test fixes, and validate changes without repeatedly pushing code to trigger remote runs.

What is the best way to debug a broken continuous integration pipeline in GitHub Actions?▼

Debug broken continuous integration pipelines by viewing detailed failed step logs via the GitHub CLI or Actions tab to pinpoint root causes, then apply curated fixes for common errors like Node version mismatches and missing dependencies.

Why does my GitHub Actions CI run fail with a Node version mismatch error?▼

GitHub Actions CI runs fail with Node version mismatches when workflow YAML configurations differ from local environments; this skill identifies the mismatch and helps align versions across all workflow files to resolve the error.

Can I run pre-flight checks to validate CI jobs before pushing code to GitHub?▼

Run pre-flight checks before pushing code to validate CI unit, integration, and packaging jobs locally, catching issues early to avoid broken GitHub Actions runs and blocked pull requests.

How do I fix misconfigured secrets causing failures in my GitHub Actions YAML workflows?▼

Fix misconfigured secrets in GitHub Actions YAML workflows by identifying the configuration failure pattern from remote CI logs and applying actionable corrections to the workflow's secret definitions.
